Gambling with this mentality would definitely make you lose because you are doing it out of desperation. This is a wrong way to approach gambling, it's not totally wrong to gamble for the purpose of making profit but gambling to recover the money you have spent might take you off balance.
are you trying to say you lost just because you had the wrong mentality while gambling? that might not be completely true.
the outcome of your prediction is not a function of your intention for gambling and even though your intention plays its own role in how you react to losses and how much you expose yourself to risk, there are instances where you might gamble to recover certain losses, and you get lucky to hit it well from the prediction.
gambling is a game of luck. factors like the intent of your gambling and how desperate you want to win in your gambling only affect the amount you use in making your bet and never the outcome of your bet. with the right analysis and luck shining on you, the worst of intent can give you the highest win you have ever hard as a gambler.
